A meltable smokeless tobacco composition configured for insertion into the mouth of a user is provided. The smokeless tobacco composition includes a tobacco material and a lipid having a melting point of about 36° C. to about 45° C. An associated process is also provided. The process includes melting a lipid having a melting point of about 36° C. to about 45° C. to form a molten lipid composition, mixing a tobacco material with the molten lipid composition to form a molten smokeless tobacco composition, and cooling the molten smokeless tobacco composition to form a solidified smokeless tobacco composition.

There is provided a method of extracting one or more volatile compounds of interest from tobacco material, the method comprising the steps of: i) providing tobacco material; ii) subjecting the tobacco material to steam distillation; and iii) extracting one or more volatile compounds of interest from the tobacco material with a solvent; wherein distillation step (ii) and extraction step (iii) are carried out simultaneously and at a pH of no greater than 2, and wherein the period during which both the distillation step (ii) and the extraction step (iii) are carried out is from about 8 to about 20 hours.

Embodiments described herein include a ground tobacco composition, wherein at least 90% by weight of the tobacco in the composition has a particle size in the range of about 200 μm to about 5 mm.

Embodiments of the present invention provide pouches including a capsule delivers medium chain triglycerides (MCT), which are a non-stick oil agent that prevent the paper from sticking during use. This oil is released from the capsule and flows through the walls of the pouch paper to substantially improve mouth feel and flavor. The oil can be flavored, and the nicotine pouch offers a pleasant mouth feel during use without sticking to the gums. The capsule can also provide an anti-sting effect that reduces unpleasant effects of nicotine for sensitive users.

The present invention relates to a method to produce a sheet of a material containing alkaloids, the method comprising:—mixing particles of the material containing alkaloids, a binder, an aerosol former and water to form a slurry;—casting (100) the slurry to form a cast sheet;—drying (101) the cast sheet by means of a heated fluid;—recovering heat (103) from exhausts produced during drying;—recovering volatile substances from exhausts produced during drying; and—obtaining a flavor extract from the recovered volatile substances.
